I just throw them in the sink with some dawn. It works great.

i tried that, the oil seeping comes back pretty quick. and it didnt fix the tackyness problem for me.. which model did you use it on and for what problem?
SpliceD
Pronounced, "Spliced"
I did this too and after about a week, the oils came back. BriP

if its bubbled its probably too far gone (you cant get rid of the bubbles), but its probably worth a shot to clean it out and extend its life. let me know how it goes. in any case boiling water wont do harm.
and next time, keep em clean man haha. (read the 'how to clean your glasses' sticky thread)
Yeah I'll try it. They did this while being stored away for years. Thought I had them cleaned up enough. I do wash my glasses before storing them. With heavy use and being original it only has one spot and it's small. I do the Dawn or hand soap on clean up. Even my E wires have gotten tacky from time to time on my Gold ones. Never new about the boiling trick. I quit wearing regularly after the last frame replacement('99 or '00). When parts started to thin. I wore these everyday for three years straight no pun on that. I used to have the groves that you got from wearing them a lot. Took about a year to go away. I'd love to get a new set of lenses for them. Maybe later. hearno

All Juliets. I tried it with some splice the other day and so far so good but I don't wear them so I'll never know as far as longterm results. BriP

is this for weeping oils or for tackyness?
Does this work for nose pieces as well? My Blade piece needs some treatment.
